Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Alpharetta, GA

Glad you stopped by! I am board-certified psychiatrist specializing in the care of adults, children, and adolescents, with over 17 years of clinical experience. An excellent listener, I provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions.

After spending 12 years working in the legal field, having 3 children, and ensuring my son with special needs had the support he needed to reach his potential, which he did beautifully, I decided to follow my (other) passion. Went back to school in 2016 to earn my Masters in Social Work, which allowed me to follow my dream - helping people find their voice, their identify, their peace, their power and their ability to grow.

Thank you for reading my profile and considering my services. It would be an honor to help you with the issues causing you distress and unhappiness. Counseling is not just a job for me, it's a calling. After an extraordinary career in Human Resources, both domestically and internationally, I've found my true passion in counseling. I'm committed to providing you with the support and guidance you need. I've been a counselor for many years and enjoy a very interactive relationship with my clients.

As a multicultural counselor, I understand the importance of your perspectives being heard and understood.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 4 years of experience, passionately working with adults of diverse ethnicities and backgrounds to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, post-traumatic stress syndrome, grief, family conflict, and relationship issues.

I received my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University.

Reaching out for therapy is a courageous first step, and I strive to make that step feel as comfortable as possible. I believe healing happens when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are, without judgment, pressure, or the need to have everything figured out.

I work with individuals ages 12 and older who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Whether you're facing a recent challenge or carrying experiences that have weighed on you for years, we'll work together to better understand what's happening beneath the surface and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I see therapy as a partnership. You'll be met with compassion, curiosity, and respect as we work toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you.

I've embraced the southern warmth, but I'm a born and bred northeasterner, originally from snowy Buffalo, NY. The University of Rochester and the University of Rochester School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry was my training ground, and since then, my experience has spanned from Rural Mental Health in Albion, NY, to School Mental Health in Washington, DC .
